Australia 1939

The Great War of 1914-18 was supposed to be the war to end war, and yet, just 21 years later, in 1939, Australia was once again drawn into a European war. Australia 1939 captures in words and pictures the essence of that momentous year in Australia's history - a year that stands as a watershed between the end of the 1930s depression and the birth of modern Australia.  Australia 1939 is a fascinating account of rising international tensions, grand public events and of everyday life.
